Fur Seal Cove

Our family of South American fur seals are most at home basking on the rocks and playing in the waves. Youngest member Tamar is growing fast and you can see him enjoying swimming with parents Grace and Karel.

Like all mammals they love to sleep, especially in the sunshine with a full belly! They eat sprats and mackerel but also love flat fish as a treat. For more information about their daily feed and keeper talks please visit our What's On page.

Underwater viewing windows enable you to see them in their element. Make sure you find the fish shapes to get Gemini’s attention and she will enjoy some underwater acrobatics with you and your family.

Help protect creatures like these by taking your litter home from you when you go to the beach to stop it getting in to the stomach of the wildlife on the shores.
